After what happened in the hallway by my lockers. Where Jayson and Eli were teasing and picking on Ashely and Natalie. That is what happened before the first bell ringed. I walked in with Ashely she had a faraway look on her face. She is probably still upset with Jayson Woods for how an ass he is. But I know my friend has a big crush on him. Oh, I can count on that one there. I thought with a giggle under my breathe.
I saw Ashely turn her head at me.
“Don’t even think about it Ave” she said staring at me with a serious look. I put my hands up.
“Hey, I didn’t say anything Ash,” I told her with an innocent expression on my face. But really, I am laughing inside. She gave me a look saying shut up. So, I did I changed the subject.
“So, Ash?” I asked her. “Yeah”, she said back at me. She wasn’t looking at me now. But she started walking into the back of the classroom. I followed her.
Not even five minutes sitting down in our seats. Natalie comes walking through the door. She is holding her chest like someone rip out her heart. I also see the pain in her eyes. I wonder what that is all about. Then Ashely and I looked at each other.
“What do you think happened?” She asked me. That was my thought too. I wonder what happened.
I told her.
” I don’t know Ash,” But I hope she is okay.
I was in my own thoughts when I saw Natalie’s side on my left side and Ashely on my right. She looked like she was crying. So, I didn’t want to remind her about whatever made her cry earlier.
“Hey, Nat. Everything okay.? “I asked her. And I gave her a smile. She gave me a tiny smile. Yep, that is what I Inspect she was crying about something or someone. Then she started talking like nothing happened.
“So, what you think Miss. Weber give us extra homework tonight?” She asked us. We just played along with her. So, I said.
“Yeah, I know right. I hope not” I said with a small giggle under my breath. Then Ashely spoke her answer.
“Yeah, I like her, but sometimes that lady needs to light up” Maybe she needs a man. That will help her get laid. She won’t be uptight anymore.” She said with a grin on her face.
“Ashely!” I said with belief in my voice but a smile behind my lips. She stared at me and Natalie with an innocent look on her face. But you can see her smile behind her closed mouth. She has always been the more outspoken friend.
“What?” She said with her shoulders up. It’s like she didn’t say anything. It’s like someone else did.
“Anyway”, she said, and she started talking again.
“Now, Now, girls,” she started saying with a cock grin on her face. “Little ole me would say that out my sweet innocent mouth,” she tells us.
We all started laughing and chatting before first-period class starts. We were talking and having a good commutation before they came in throw the door.
We all stop and stared at the front of the room where the door is. We all drop our smiles and stop talking. I heard a growl come out of somewhere. That was when I realized it was me that growled. Because I saw Elijah Woods had his arms around a little tart blonde. She’s friends with Emilia Stone. Right, now she is all over Emilia, man. That tart’s name is Camila Houston. She is the second snobby bitch in this school. I am staring at them with heat and angry in my eyes.
“Man, she braves” I know Emilia is going to kill her.” a girl in my class is rude but not as mean as Emilia and Camila and their followers. “Damn, he had the two hottest girls in the same friendzone.” A guy said. “Yeah, man what a lucky bastard.” I heard a guy say and laugh with his friends.
“Woods!’ You’re the man!” I heard a dumbass say in the back room. I turned around I saw his stupid football jock teammates cheering him on. I want to throw up because they make me sick. Why do people cheer him on and show him, and why do they like him? Why?
Like the way all the girls want him, and the guys want to be his friends. It’s sickened I can hear people talking about him around me and Ashely, Natalie. Praising him like he’s a God. Oh, my God! I can’t believe these people are idling and worshipping him. That was When he started walking in the classroom like he was the boss. He was looking around and his eyes were casing the room. When his eyes stop on something or someone he was looking for. Yep, you guessed it right, little ole me.
I thought with an annoying attitude. God, he started walking towards me with his cocky smirk on his sexy and handsom- I mean ugly face. I need to stop thinking about him. God, I want to smack that cocky smile off his face. I wanted to put my middle finger up at him. Ahh, I wanted to scream at him, and I wanted to flip him off. But I am not brave enough like Ashely. So, that is what she did. Instead of me.
“Oh, fuck off man-whores!” She flipped them off. I and Natalie started laughing at what Ashely did. She was laughing with her head back. But something happened.
We heard a growl and Ashely’s neck was inside Jayson’s hand.
“You have a very dirty mouth kitten.” He told her with a snarl and a growl.
“You keep it up, I am going to give you something to shut you up,” he said bringing her face closer towards his. He started gripping her neck harder. But she just gave him a big grin.
“Oh, I am so scared big boy!” She mocked him.
“You, the one going to stuff my mouth!” She chuckled and had a smug look on her face.
He stared at her with shock and confusion. He probably wonders why she does not back down. Well, he is up against Ashely Williams the badass strong, beautiful she-wolf.
“Yeah, you should be afraid of me,” he tells her with his lips on hers.
Why’s that huh” she said with a grin on her face. He didn’t say anything because he was speechless. But then she did something that was brave. She came closer. Her lips on right on his. It looks like they were going to kiss. But everyone can see they are not. Damn, I wish I were like my cousin and best friend. She an outspoken badass. She doesn’t take anyone’s shit. That was when she winked at him and kissed him.
She got out of his held her arms wrapped around his neck. She grabbed his shirt pulled his lips down on hers. She kissed him hard on the mouth. Before he acted. She let him go and she pulled away from him. He had an unbelievable look on his face. Like he can’t believe she just did that. Well, he doesn’t know anything about her very well, does he? She gave him another wink.
“Mmm, cotton candy”
“Mmm, my favorite,” she said to him. Then She licked her lips. Staring at him. She turned away from him. She has no idea she is my hero now I thought with a laugh. Because the look on everyone’s face was priceless. I look over at Ashely she still had the expression on her face. That said don’t fuck with me! I gasp and when someone grabbed me. I was staring in the eyes of…
